Walkthrough:
DM text upon entering- The Tomb of the Forbidden has been plunged into a
deep freeze by a powerful, mysterious force.
Move through the icey halls, clearing out cultsists and cold type
minions as you go. A short way in you will find a small chest with a red
gear. Pick it up and continue. You will come to a dead end hall with two
flanking corridors. The person with the gear neads to head down both
corridors and unlock the levers at the end of each. Then split the party
into two groups and have the two levers pulled at the same time. The
corridors will close and spawn ice creatures. Fight your way out,
clearing the halls will open the flanking corridors and the central
hall. Continue on your way.
The next hall will also seem to dead end. Your only hint is a small
green arrow looking thing on the wall ahead, pointing up. It is telling
you to look up. On the center of the ceiling is a small green eyed
skull. Hit it with a ranged weapon and the wall ahead will open.
Continue on.
Now you will come to a room with a mean ice flenser guarind a pair of
chests. Kill him and his friends, grab the blue gear and some loot. This
blue gear will open a later passage which is similar to the earlier one.
Unlock both levers, split the party, fight back to the middle and clear
it out.
Further in will find a secret passage, which will lead to another
optional chest. The chest, also behind a secret door, in a locked
alcove, and is locked. Be careful when opening... while this is no
crucible, it is mean for those who are in the alcove when the chest is
open. The explosions will stop after a short while, allowing everyone to
loot.
Further down the hallway with the secret door will find a frozen room
containing the frigid remains of a mindflayer, clutching a gold key.
Break him up and take his key. This will get you further down the halls
and into the last chamber.
The last chamber is below the catwalks you find yourself on. Go give the
sarcophagi a good lookin at, and the mummy will drop from the ceiling
and bring a bunch of buddies. Deal with them and get some loot!
